Summer Movies for Kids - 2008 Edition

It's that time of year again!  Time to start thinking about cheap summer entertainment for you and your kids. One of summer's best traditions is going to a movie.  With that in mind, I pulled together a list of free (or really cheap) summer movie theater promos. In case you're not aware, theaters often have special summer promos where they show G or PG films on weekday mornings for free, or nearly so.

If your favorite theater isn't listed, you might want to call them and ask if they offer anything like this. I tried to catch most of the major chains, but I'm sure I missed some - if so, feel free to let me know and I'll update it. Also, some chains might not have posted details of their promotions yet, as it's still a bit early. With that said, here we go...
